‘Sting’ Director and Star On Playing With Massive Spider Puppets

Sting

It’s spider girl spring (is that anything?) with two big spider films crawling into theaters and onto our screens this month. One is Australian filmmaker Kiah Roache-Turner‘s Sting, which is a considerably more contained film than his previous work like Wyrmwood: Apocalypse. Now, he’s tackling single-location monster madness with one nasty spider running rampant in an apartment building.

Check out the film’s synopsis:

Sting spins a web of thrilling terror when 12-year-old Charlotte’s pet spider rapidly transforms into a giant flesh-eating monster, forcing the young girl to fight for her family’s survival.

Dread Central spoke with Roache-Turner and actor Alyla Browne (who plays a young Furiosa in George Miller’s upcoming Furiosa) about loving (or hating) spiders, single-location horror, and doing your own stunts. Plus, Roache-Turner does an incredible impression of Weta Workshop’s Richard Taylor.

Sting is out now in theaters.
